This year marks 20 years since my debut album, May Day, was released. I could think of no better way to honor that than to make the very best collection of songs and recordings that I could with some friends I admire. But it was important to me that the new work not be looking backwards. I wanted it to have the roots that have always fired me up while continuing to be informed by and leaning-forward into the moment(s) we're all observing and sharing and feeling and living. I feel something special happened with the gang that helped me make this. Feels like a real beauty.

Hustle Up Starlings was produced by Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem. It includes performances by Brian Bequette, Brian Fallon, David Henry, Doug Lancio, Brad Pemberton and yours truly. It was mixed and recorded by Doug Lancio. And Hans DeKline once again mastered it into that shimmering film to be wildly welcoming.

Thank you for giving Hustle Up Starlings a listen. I hope you find something here that travels with you forever.

Please remember International Orders have a $5 surcharge that will be added upon check out. Making each CD $25.

David Ricketts produced this final installment in the trilogy of Dear Lover, "I Recall," and In the Dusk of Everything. Organic and beautiful the album concludes that "You're someone's salvation in a stupid world." Dusk is currently only available digitally at OUR DIGITAL STORE or at iTunes, Amazon or Bandcamp.

Ambient and dark "I Recall Standing" is dense and unflinching as it looks outward. It features the song I Still Believe in You (which was featured on the TV Show Parenthood) and also has Special Guests Betsy Roo, Katie Herzig and Ollie Knights of Turin Brakes.

Cinematic and melancholy this home recorded album is the first in the trilogy of Dear Lover, "I Recall," and "Dusk." It includes the songs The World Is, Your Museum, Some Streets Lead Nowhere and The Wilderness. Special Guests: DJ Preach, David Henry, Amanda Shires (Isbell) and Rod Picott.

An all acoustic version of the adventurous Dear Lover. Recorded by David Henry who also plays cello on it, and it includes the bonus song Beauty Has a Name which was written by Matthew Ryan and Thad Cockerel (of the band Leagues).

Produced by Neilson Hubbard and Matthew Ryan this is Ryan's first full on experiment with a more drum machined and cinematic ambience. Starting as Home Recordings many of the demos were fleshed out and offered in all their fuzzy and electronic glory. Includes the song Follow The Leader which was featured on the TV show HOUSE. As well as the modern electronic folk of Gone For Good and Babybird.

Produced by Doug Lancio, Mark Robertson and Matthew Ryan this is a wide and cinematic Rock N' Roll record. It includes Return To Me and I Can't Steal You (which some have seen Matthew Ryan and The Gaslight Anthem perform together) among a truckload of other great songs. Currently unavailable.

Produced and Recorded by Richard McLaurin in his home studio on Idaho Avenue just up the street from Matthew Ryan's first house in Nashville, TN. Made in 7 days. Includes Special Guests Lucinda Williams (duets on the song Devastation), Clay Steakley, Craig Krampf and Mack Starks. Also includes a gritty American roots punk version of The Clash's Somebody Got Murdered. Currently unavailable.

Matthew's 2nd record is now available for Mail-Order! Produced by Trina Shoemaker and Matthew Ryan, East Autumn Grin leans hard from Ryan's love of the big (and LOUD) music. Steve Earle proclaimed it as one of his favorites of that year. A tumultuous time personally and professionally for Ryan, this album explodes with existential crisis. Beautiful, loud and somehow darkly hopeful with Special Guests Johnette Napolitano (of Concrete Blonde), Dave Pirner (of Soul Asylum), Chris Feinstein, Tommy Williams, Will Kimbrough, Doug Lancio and Ethan Johns.

Produced by David Ricketts. Here's where it all began. Loud and beautiful with its heart on its sleeve. Not currently available for Mail Order. Here's hoping that changes. In the meantime it can be heard on Spotify or purchased on iTunes or Amazon.
